Successful year for Holstein breeders

Reporting to the annual general meeting of Holstein (South Wales) held at Newcastle Emlyn RFC the chairman, Wyn Jones, referred to another successful year with the usual activities highlighted by two on-farm events at Rhydygors (Glyn, Myrtle and Tomos Davies) and Waliswood (Paul, Bessie and Bryn Williams).

Both of these days attracted excellent attendances when visitors not only saw good cattle but learnt lessons from visiting speakers.

The fundraising for the Holstein young breeders weekend – to be held in South Wales in 2019 – was well supported with the efforts of the retiring president, John Evans, adding to the amount raised of £3,723 plus further donations and a skittle competition.

A cheque for £375 was presented to Prostrate Cymru, being the proceeds of the offertory collection at the club’s Harvest Festival.

Wyn expressed the club’s congratulations to Glyn Davies and family of the 350 cow Rhydygors herd on repeating many of last year's herd competition successes and also to Paul Williams and family of Waliswood. He closed by thanking fellow officers, members and his family for their ongoing support.
